i'm modding (mauling) a theme. i'm trying to display the results of a 'list recent posts' plugin horizontally. i figured it'd be as simple as wrapping the plugin output in a list like 'echo '<li class="flo">';' and then use the magic of css to display 2 or 3 columns. i.e.
'li.flo {
width: 15em; /* width is changed */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
display:inline
}'
its not working. any ideas. check my testsite to see what i mean.
==edit== i want to display the recent posts in a width defined, 2 column list. i'm about to try tables (pray for me)
Then you're more looking for CSS columns, not horizontal. :) This will help a LOT:

Happy reading. I'd say don't pull your hair out, but well.... ;P
ok tech-lady (Andrea_R), 3 thangs:
1)i got it to work, thanks for the link. i'd seen it and tried before and given up. your pointing to it gave me the confidence to try it again. //touchy feely moment
2)since i'm mauling a hack of your plugin, i'd appreciate any further guidance you might wanna give out.
3)i've been bald on purpose since like 1989. though if i had any hair to pull out, i'd be all over my desktop.
thanks.
The HTML:
'
- Plugin output
- Plugin output
- Plugin output
- Plugin output
- Plugin output
The CSS:
ul {
float: left;
width: 12em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
ol.flo{
float: left;
width: 22em;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}'
The plugin output isn't being divied up evenly between the 2 columns. the current look outputs 6 in one column, 10 in the other.
Ideas?
Why you using ul *and* ol?
UL not showing up in the page render either.
Should those ols be lis? :)
And what up with that avatar and the shirtless wonder with the 8-pack?

my brother. he really loves himself. i can't wait till he turns 30 and gets all fluffy like i did. LOL.

grrr. I've been messing with this on and off for months.
What is it with little brothers? Sometimes I want to smack mine upside the head. And he's a foot taller than I am.
Anyway.
Page render says:
<div class="recentposts">
<li class="flo">recent posts...
there be the issue. I'd stick a ul right under that div, see what happens.
he thinks he looks like some R&B singer. I have a picture of him taking a picture of himself taking a picture of himself. that's right, nested photography - 3 cameras.
I've never gotten this 2 column thing to work properly. The plugin wraps each post in li tags. I need a way to display an even amount of posts in each column. maybe there's a way via php to tell the plugin to display the first 10 posts and then break into a new column.
or could i make it populate a 2X10 table?
Looked just now. The 5th one is floating left and hitting the bottom right side of the 3rd one which forces it to stay in the right column.
